Yao announced he would have surgery next week on his broken left foot, a decision that will likely keep him out all of next season. The team said there is no timetable set for the return of the seven-foot-six Yao, a seven-time all star, but that he is “expected to be available for the team's training camp in 2010.”

McGrady, also a seven-time all star, could be sidelined until next February as he recovers from risky microfracture surgery on his left knee. Source ESPN.com…….
